\\ \parbox{\linewidth}{\footnotesize \emph{Notes}: This table reports estimates for equation (\ref{eq:baseline_rdd}) for variations of the general index. All components available: we only keep observations for which we have data on all sub-indices. Weighted index: we construct the general index using the method of \cite{pocock1997clinical}, giving less weight to sub-indices which are more correlated with each other. Average of components: instead of constructing the general index as the simple average of the sub-indices, we construct it as the simple average of all outcomes which are part of the sub-indices. Only major elections of each regime: we restrict the sample to presidential elections in presidential regimes and parliamentary elections in parliamentary regimes. Without elections coinciding with regime changes: we exclude from the sample elections coinciding with a democratization or a democratic reversal, as measured by \cite{acemoglu2019}.}
